“Hubby, why does your expression not seem right strange?”

When she raised her face, she happened to see his contemplative look, and she regarded him suspiciously.

“Ah? What is not right? There’s nothing wrong in it.” Her gaze made him feel a little guilty. However, as someone who had years of experience in the corporate world, he was naturally good at hiding his true feelings.

Although his mind was filled with thoughts of how to separate his son to Pei Ge, he did not show a trace of that to his wife.

“Don’t tell me that you’re planning to do something behind my back?” she asked askance, her eyes scrutinizing.

“How is that possible? Dear, how can I not listen to you? You’re overthinking things.” He gently patted her arm before he continued. “I’ve been thinking about it, and I may have really misunderstood our son’s girlfriend.

“I agree with your suggestion to invite her over; that way, I can properly reevaluate her.” He looked at his wife with sincerity.

She did not doubt his husband on this. After all, he had always listened and had never once lied to her.

Hence, easily convinced, she nodded happily.

“Okay. I’ll see when Ge Ge’s free and invite her over. You can evaluate her all you want, then.” She grinned, clearly satisfied with this outcome.

He secretly sighed in relief when he noted his wife’s satisfaction. Before doing anything else, he at least needed to ensure this.

“Oh, right. Where did Ming Ming go? I heard from Tongtong that he was not present in the company today.”

The thought of inviting Pei Ge over made her recall their son.

“Our son is a busy man; how can he stay in that small company all the time?” He snorted, brushing it off.

Another reason he disliked that woman was their usually calm and collected son nonsensically staying in that small company every day rather than the Ji Group’s headquarters.

“I heard from our niece that he suddenly disappeared and went off to who knows where. Hubby, for some reason, I don’t feel comfortable about that.” She frowned deeply, her full of worry.

“You should stop worrying over nothing. Ziming is already of age; it’s his freedom to go wherever he pleases. Don’t think about it.”

“Mhm…”

…

“Qitong, do you know where your cousin went?”

After work, Pei Ge took the elevator with Qin Qitong out of the company.

The moment they stepped out of the building, she could finally not suppress her question regarding Ji Ziming’s whereabouts.

“I don’t know. Did he not give you a call?” She blinked at her curiously.

“Yes, he didn’t.” She frowned in worry. Even when he left last time, he at least still called her.

This time, however, he did not even give her a call, much less a text.

“Relax, Sister Pei Ge. There’s nothing to worry about that demon king!” Noticing how worried she was, the girl hooked her arm through hers reassuringly.

“If my cousin disappears, the person people should worry isn’t him but the other person. Ever since I was a child, I’ve never seen the need for others to worry about my cousin!” The young lady grinned uncaringly.

She also smiled at this yet still felt worried for the man who had disappeared sans a heads up.

“Ah! I take back my earlier words!” the girl suddenly exclaimed, turning to blink at her.

“Hm? Why?” She gave her an odd look.

“I just recalled that there was once a time when there’s a need to worry for my cousin’s life,” the girl clarified.

“Eh? What time?” Her curiosity was piqued.

“It’s when he’s still in high school. He was once kidnapped—”

Pei Ge’s exclamation cut her off.

“Kidnapped?!” She widened her eyes in disbelief.

“Yes, kidnapped.” Qin Qitong nodded. She had a faraway look, which indicated that she was recalling past events. “It’s tough back then as my cousin came close to being killed by his hostage-takers.”

“Th-Then how did he escape?” Although she knew that the man had survived in the end, her voice was tinged with trepidation when she asked this question.

“A little girl saved my cousin. If not for her… you probably wouldn’t meet him in this life.” Her expression turned queer at the mention of this girl. She did not notice this, though.

“How exactly did he escape, and how did that girl save him?” All her attention was on how he had escaped from his kidnappers.

Qin Qitong was secretly relieved when she did not press about the little girl’s identity.

Although she disliked that woman, it was undeniable that she had saved her cousin; thus, she was a ‘benefactor’ that the Ji and Qin families could not mistreat.

“Don’t assume that my cousin is free of fear just because he appears to be strong. He actually night-blind and claustrophobic.” She thought for a moment and decided to reveal his secret to Pei Ge whom she now deemed as a family.

Pei Ge was stunned by this revelation.

She recalled his past abnormal behavior when the elevator malfunctioned and they got stuck inside it.

She could understand now why he was akin to a blind person as he groped his way around when the company had a blackout.

“Back then, if not for that girl accompanying him in that cramped, dark room, who knew what would’ve happened to him…”

As Qin Qitong steadily described the place, an extremely dark house where she could not even see her outstretched fingers suddenly flashed across Pei Ge’s mind.
